In my opinion, Google Pay is best suited for purchases within physical businesses and shops, especially when you are in urgent need of office equipment and supplies for your job. More specifically, ink cartridges and flash drives. I see no scenario where the usage of the Google Pay app is not appropriate.

Google Pay is well suited for a physical retail environment, online shopping websites, and locations with security issues such as gas pumps and convenience stores where card skimmers are most common. Google Pay is less appropriate as a online shopping tool which seems to be the way Google is developing the app. Keep the features simple instead of trying to integrate a whole suite of products such Google shopping.

Fine for face-to-face transactions and purchases not likely to be returned or queried such as groceries, petrol, etc. Definitely not for larger purchases or ones requiring buyer protection.

Google Pays Off

I have only scratched the surface of Google Pay's capabilities because we do not have a physical store. I believe the benefits would increase for locations where smartphone payment is already underway in physical stores that also do online sales. If your business deals with very little foot traffic or does not offer a variety of payment choices, do more research before adding Google Pay as an option — Google Pay is an eager competitor to Apple Pay, and therefore offers businesses opportunities to run promotions and other incentives to adopt Google Pay currently, so it still may be worthwhile to smaller businesses. Google Pay is about to implement a banking option, which will likely add to the number of users and therefore excited customers with Google Pay to spend with you. The web implementation seems simple and should be a good addition to websites where multiple payment types are available.

Google Pay is well suited for just about any website as an extra payment processor for you to accept payments. Many people use Google Pay so adding this functionality can assist you greatly in being able to accept more payments.

If you have a list of vendors or businesses that you interact with more frequently than others, then Google Pay (formerly known as Google Wallet) is right for your organization. Ops teams or delegates can pay, initiate, and archive invoices in a streamlined, friendly manner. Gone are the days where you have to scroll through a long list of transactions or virtual credit cards to find that one receipt that you're looking for!

It is ideal for any kind of B2C shop, where customers want to see as many different payment options as possible.
Especially shops targeting younger generations.
It also makes sense for in-app shops since it makes the purchase experience fast.
From my point of view, it is less adequate for a shop that needs to work in different countries with different banks, because it becomes a bit messy to maintain.

It is the best option for instant payment to a friend or a colleague and also a good payment gateway to add to your shopping or logistics website. It is less appropriate when dealing with huge amounts of funds or payments overseas or to an offshore account. Good to use as a virtual payment method.

This well suited for almost all the payments that you make. Users can save time and instead of using internet banking of their respective banks, users can just use google pay to transfer and accept money. You can just scan the QR code to make payments. There is everything like mobile recharge, credit card bill payments, etc.

It is one of the easiest apps to send or receive money with. Whether it is for business or personal reasons, it is a great way to facilitate any transaction. It is also a great way to collate all of the items in your digital wallet, including most bank accounts or credit cards.

The most fitting scenarios for use of Google Pay generally include times in which people go out to eat or grab coffee or drinks. Other times are for planned parties where one person needs to put down a credit card to pay vendors, buy products/food/etc, and needs to be reimbursed by others who may not have cash/are not in the same office space as the payor/and other similar circumstances.

It is a great way to put a company credit card into employees hands without needing the physical card present. It's sometimes a burden to wait for the company card for payments. The scenario where it can be not as a great is when digital payments or Google Pay may not be accepted and you have to go back to using your regular card.

  • It is very useful for the small business purpose who don't have a POS machine to swipe the card.
  • Best for doing mobile recharges, and paying Electricity bills.
  • Not suitable for EMI transactions, if the payment fails then we've to find another way to pay the amount within the time limit.
  • Try not to use if you had a bad network, this will cause money to lose at that time even if you get it back.

If we put our attention to basic need to transfer amount to anyone then this is very best app. Every application have some cons so does Google Pay. It keeps records of every transaction so don't need to write down anywhere else. Also gives coupons and cashback as rewards for every transaction.

Google Pay has so far been pretty well suited for all of my needs, so much so, that I use it personally as well. I haven't run into a situation where I thought it may not be appropriate as of yet, at least in terms of utilizing another similar platform. Obviously, there are times that a physical check or cash is needed, but I certainly can't fault Google for that. For my records, the email confirmations back-and-forth of payments and/or requests are completely fine. But if you need a professional receipt for any reason, I'm not sure if there is a way to pull something like that. So that may be the only time you may need to look at a different online option.

It is a very secure mode of payment method. We need not provide the credit card information to the seller or receiver, rather save the information in the google pay set up. The seller will not be able to see our card information. It is a contactless payment method. Can set up access authentication that no one could use the Google wallet.

Google Wallet is well suited when I send an invoice and can get paid instantly via this service. And it is well suited when I don't need that money instantly, due to the time it takes to transfer to bank account for use. It is less appropriate when I need to be able to use it instantly.
